I grew up in the South, but I've been in NYC for about 25 years so
I look upon it as home. I teach history at a college here in NYC. I
enjoy a wide variety of cultural activities (both serious and not
so serious), reading, going to museums, and checking out the great
restaurants the city has to offer. I also love to cook and am
pretty good at that. I'm a very independent person but at the same
time quite social. I love biking around Brooklyn (and the other
boroughs) exploring different neighborhoods. What else? While I
might come across as rather serious in my profile (and photos, I
guess), I'm certainly not always serious!

Movies: Hitchcock's North by Northwest, the Battle of Algiers, a
lot of Mike Leigh movies, some of Antonioni's films, Robert Altman
films, Melville's Army of Shadows, Johnny To's Election, screwball
comedies from the 1930s like The Lady Eve, the Big Lebowski, Billy
Wilder's Some Like it Hot, Altman's the Long Goodbye, Chris
Marker's movies, The Battle of Algiers, Gladiator (I do love a good
hollywood action movie)

TV: Pretty much everyone seems to like on this site: True
Detective, The Black Mirror, Sherlock, Homeland, Game of Thrones,
Breaking Bad, Mad Men, the Wire, Battlestar Gallactica, The Walking
Dead, The Killing

Perhaps cooking a nice meal for someone (or just for myself), or
going to see a movie or looking at some art, going out to dinner or
a bar, or maybe just staying in and relaxing with a novel, some
wine, and netflix (nice to stay in sometimes after a long week)

You're smart, kind, genuine, curious about the world and love to
travel, a reader. You can be serious, but at other times not
serious at all. You're into both highbrow and lowbrow culture.
Would be great if you're a bit of a foodie since I love to cook and
take advantage of the excellent restaurants in this fine city.
